MERKUR Casinos: How to Get In

Step Right In

You finally want to visit the MERKUR Casinos but have no idea what you actually need – and whether joggers are okay? In this article, you’ll find out what you have to bring along (spoiler: an ID), how old you should be, and what’s best to wear.

Requirements for Admission

You must be at least 18 years old (or 21 in Lower Saxony) – that’s required by law. In addition, no player ban may be in place (we check this via the nationwide OASIS system).

To make sure we can verify everything properly, you need a valid photo ID to enter. It’s important that the document clearly proves your identity.

(Electronic) residence permits without a corresponding passport, driving licences, service, student, or press IDs, credit cards, or similar documents are not accepted.

At the MERKUR Casinos in North Rhine-Westphalia, an admission fee of €5 applies if you do not hold an M-Card . In Saxony-Anhalt, entry is free – a jackpot for bargain hunters!

Valid ID Documents for Admission:

  • Valid national ID card
  • Passport
  • Equivalent valid official substitute ID with photo

Dress code

At MERKUR Casinos, we want you to feel comfortable, and that naturally applies to your outfit as well. Whether you choose to wear an elegant shirt or simply your favorite jeans is entirely up to you.


Before entering the gaming area, we simply ask you to leave your jackets and headwear in the cloakroom, where they will be kept safe for you.


Please note: For hygiene reasons, anyone wearing dirty clothing or swimwear will not be admitted.

How does admission work?

The admission process is very straightforward.

1. Show your ID – it's best to have it ready.
2. Quick check – we'll verify that you're eligible to play.
3. Pay the admission fee – depending on the location.
4. Check your jacket/hat – we have a cloakroom for you.
5. Jump right into the game – and you're right in the middle of the action!
